Case Study: Strapping Gun Test Jig

Strapping Guns (used in Construction, Retail, Steel, and many other industries) are designed to wrap different types of items into bundles.

Over time, the strapping gun components suffer wear and tear and the tolerances and capacity change, however, traditionally it has been difficult (or impossible) to prove capacity of the straps.

Requirements

We were commissioned to develop a testing jig for various types of strapping guns, so that integrity of the bundles in transport are secured and can be proved to comply with Health & Safety and Transport regulations.
